Significant reduction in direct costs, unique racks and number of materials personnel
Recreational Vehicle Industry
Significant reduction in direct costs
A major manufacturer of recreational vehicles realized they faced significant operational cost challenges from manufacturing and transporting vehicle sub-assemblies between multiple facilities separated by hundreds of miles and they determined that these facilities were plagued by inefficient processes, limited manufacturing space and restrictive production levels. Their management turned to Magnys Innovative Solutions to help them develop a “Greenfield” site to address these issues by centralizing manufacturing at a single location. Their goal was improved operational efficiency, reduced logistics costs, reduced assembly process times, improved quality, increased production and lower overall costs. Management accepted Magnys recommendation to implement state-of-the-art tools and facilities at the new facility.
The team had set an ambitious stretch budget target for their new 2000 rack / 5000 parts / 3 plant program. The Magnys team easily met this goal on an accelerated timeline. The company saw significant reductions in direct costs on assembly operations, reduced the number of unique racks needed, and reduced the quantity of personnel required to manage materials. The Magnys effort contributed significantly to additional manufacturing efficiencies, as well as within their supply chain community– from component suppliers to integrator, from integrators to OEMs, and on to the assembly floor.
